The Holocaust is an historical event that provides unique teaching opportunities
and challenges. It can serve as a lens for students to understand the complex
interplay of human intention, political and military power, and racial and
ethnic hatred. At the same time, the magnitude and evil of the Holocaust places
serious demands on educators. Teaching about the Holocaust means approaching
the subject matter carefully, being sure to properly contextualize its history
so that events and people do not end up as lifeless stereotypes. The lesson
plan works to personalize the holocaust and provide a variety of teaching
resources.
